[[Image:Bombard.jpg|right|thumb|An Imperial Guard Bombard]]
The '''Imperial Bombard''' is the heaviest artillery piece in common use by the [[Imperial Guard]], and is designed for cracking open fortresses. Due to its enormous weight, it is based on a stripped-down [[Leman Russ]] chassis rather than the lighter [[Chimera]] hull used for most self-propelled artillery. Even with the Russ' heavier engine and tread suspension, it is very slow. It is armed with a [[Heavy Siege Mortar]].
